There are so many more boys on this list who ran at state all four years than I expected. I took the top 500 seniors from the 2021 GHSA State Cross Country Championships this year and put them side by side with their Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman year times. This senior boys class was certainly impressive throughout all of high school as many of them have been contributors on their team since their freshman year. This list of four year seniors includes a lot of the names you'd expect to see with Ethan Ashley, Nathan Solomon, Christian Gonzalez, Matthew Fernando, James May, Edward Blaha, Ethan Nordman, and Caden Hall. But some of the more impressive drops from their first state meet include times from Peyton Golden, Kaleb Ellis, Ethan Kurilko, Cailan Howard, and Andrew Cole.
